A festive season edit

Looking for inspiration on how to get your home festive ready from tree to table, look no further, I've partnered with Double Vision Events to bring you a guide for this festive season. 

1.  CHOOSE YOUR TREE

To set the mood for the season its no question a Christmas tree sets the scene perfectly. 

Whether you are thinking of an authentic tree with all its pines and needles or an artificial one;

 be it a spruce tree, a cypress, faux fur or cedar tree, I mean, 

the choice is yours and the options are endless, grace your home with at least one.

2.  CHOOSE YOUR THEME

Over the years I've played around with different colour themes because I love a new look each year. 2015 was blush pink and accents of gold whilst 2016 glittered in silver and white. This year I'm inspired by the rustic look, a style that blends copper accents and an abundance of greenery. For a perfect finish; glittering baubles, lights and glimmering candles dotted on every surface will add a touch.

3. CHOOSE YOUR TABLE DECOR
Elegance, classy and simple is my kind of style so if I had to inspire on a dinner table look, I would say go for a:

💫simple colour palette.
💫simple patterns but with varied texture and finishes.

💫and minimal accessories.

4. CHOOSE YOUR CARDS AND WRAPPING PAPER

You will hear me say many times, 'less is more'. 

Making cards and presents this simple couldn't be any more easier and neat!

5. CHOOSE YOUR SCENT

The inviting aroma of stepping in from the cold to a home scented with warm and spicy candles is nothing short of breathtaking.

Here are a few of my favourite candles + those on my wish list:

💫 the Winter Signature by The White Company 💫

💫 the Christmas Cookie by Yankee Candle 💫  

💫 Jo Malone London Promegranate Noir Home Candle 💫

💫 Mandarine, Clove and Cinnamon scented candle by Marks & Spencer 💫 

💫 Jo Malone London  English pear & Freesia diffuser 💫

6. CHOOSE YOUR PLAYLIST

Darling, they ain't no good party without good music. 

💫 Bryan and Katie Torwalt - Emmanuel (God with us forever) 💫 

💫 Mariah Carey - All I want for Christmas is you 💫 

💫 Michael Buble - Ave Maria ( his whole Christmas deluxe special edition album ) 💫 

💫 Brenda Lee - Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree 💫 

💫 Andy Williams - Its the most wonderful time of the year 💫 

💫 Dean Martin - Let it snow 💫 

💫 Hillsong Worship - Seasons 💫 

💫 Frank Sinatra - Have yourself a merry little Christmas (plus his Christmas jazz album ) 💫 

💫 Chris Tomlin - Noel ft. Lauren Daigle 💫 

Who I am fooling though, this playlist may last for a while but the truth is half way through I will find myself embracing my roots and listening to some old school African music! 

Now, that's when the real party will start!

Enjoy the festive holidays. Thanks for stopping by.
